Grammy award winning artist Donald Glover may be ending his hit series “Atlanta”, but his media presence is anything but. The “This Is America” artist signed an eight-figure overall deal with Amazon Studios in February 2021. At which time it was rumored that former White House daughter Malia Obama could possibly be joining his team as a writer.

Donald’s brother, Stephen Glover – who he frequently collaborates with – is also in writers room for the Amazon series. He had this to say regarding Malia’s contributions to the show:

“Donald always says perspective is important, and people with different perspectives are important for a writers’ room. And for sure, [Malia] definitely has a unique perspective on everything. So we wanted to hear her stories and have her work with us. Listening to her stories and having her involved really gave us a lot of good ideas.”
